Big Democratic Meetings. Last Friday afternoon Hon. Leroy Wade of Mfc. Vernon, addressed the citizens of Clay township at Bntler Chape). The attendance at the meeting was good considering that it was in the afternoon. In the evening he spoke to over a hundred at Hostner, many of whom were miners from Littlee. He made a forcible speech at this place, and he was highly complimented on the way he handled the issues. Saturday night he addressed the biggest meeting of the year at Ayrshire. The audience was made up of laboring men and farmers and was a very enthusiastic one. He gave an interesting talk on the labor situation at the present time and was frequently applauded by his bearers. Saturday night J. D. Barker spoke to the! citizens of Lockhart township at the Bartelt school house.. The audience was very large and good attention was had by the speaker. The speech is highly spoken of by those who were present. Monday afternoon, Hon. Thomas Duncan, the next congressman from this district, addressed the voters, at the Bowman school house, Madison township. The band from this place attended the meeting and discoursed music. Mr. Duncan made a splendid speech touching on the issues of the campaign. At night he spoke at Littles to a very large and enthusiastic meeting, a large number of the miners and farmers of that locality being present. The meeting was a grand success. No Extra Pay Allowed. 3,425. McCollom et al* vs Shaw. Shelby C. C. Reversed. Black. J. 1. The board of commissioners of a county has no authority to allow one of its members for services rendered in superintending the repair of county property on days when the board is not in session. 2. Such board can exercise only such powers and do such acts as are expressly or impliedly authorized by statute. 3. The members of the board of commissioners can not, while in regular session, provide for doing work singly or as a body on days wheu not, lawfully convened either in regular or special session and recover compensation from the oonnty.

rne above decision was rendered last week by the supreme court and will have a tendency to save the tax-payers of Indiana large sums of money as it has been the practice in some counties for commissioners to allow themselves extra pay. In looking over the allowance records in the auditor’s office it will be found that Wash Carlisle during his term of three years received about $976.20 in extra allowances; Deloss Hadlock received about $618.80; W. W. Welton received something over $360, and Thomas Whitman, present commissioner, something over $250. In the election next Tuesday it will be for the|best interests of the tax-payers to elect Robinson and Bottoms for commissioners. Will Vete for Duncan. In the approaching election Mr. Charles J. Hovey of this city, who is a son of ExGovemor Alvin P. Hovey of Indiana, will support the democratic ticket. In reference to his change of front, Mr. Hovey said to a Star representative: “I want it understood that I am a republican in principle, and have been one all of my life. If we expect to receive proper legislation we must elect to congress our ablest and brightest men, and I sincerely regret that the republicans have failed to do that in this district. They have nominated a man for (congress who is not qualified to occupy the position, and I shall not support him. 1 am personally acquainted with Mr. James A. Hemenway and do not believe that we should return him to congress. He is not the proper person for the place, and his record in that body will bear out my statement. If this district is to be represented in congress by an incompetent man, l do not want mviparty to be the one that sends hire there. While" I do not enjoy a personal acquaintance with Mr. Duncan, yet I hope that the democrats have nominated an abler man.” Mr. Hovey has traveled all over the world, is thoroughly informed on all public questions and is one of the brightest men in this state.—Ml Vernon Star.

Remarkithle Bmir. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Illinois, makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated lor a month by her family physician, bat i grew worse. He told her she was a hope- j l^s victim of consumption and that no medicine coukl cure her. Her druggist; suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for! consumption; she bought a bottle and to | her delight found herself benefited from | lint dose. She continued its use and after < taking six bottles, found herself sound and: well, now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles; of this great discovery at J. R. Adams A; Son’s drug store, large bottles 50 cents and r.oo. , Delays Are Desgeren. Many of your friends, or people whom vou know of have contracted consumption, pneumonia or other fatal diseases by neglect of a simple cold or cough. Foley’s Honey and Tar. a safe, sore and pleasant cough medicine, would have saved them. U is guaranteed. J. R. Adams A Son. o

Tax Bate la Jefferson Township. As something has been said regarding the tax levy of Jefferson township and as Mr. Lewis Traylor, the present trustee, is a candidate for county clerk, he received a signed statement from the county auditor which shows the levies for th^jpast several years. It has beeu said in the campaign by some that the levies have been increased. This is a mistake as the levies hare been decreased from year to year. The last levy before Mr. Traylor took his office was made by Dr. Harris in 1895,which was as follows: Township. .SO cents on the 1100 Tuition ..10 cents on tu $100 Special school.. 30 cents on the 9100 Road. 5 cents on the <100 Total .. 90 cents on the 1100 And 25 cents on each poll. Total state, county and township, $1.75?*. in 1896 Mr. Trayier made the levy as follows, taking off the poll tax: Township .2D cents on the $100 special school .50 cents on the <100 Special road.10 cents on the <100 Total . —....30 cents on the 1100 Total state, county and township, <1.65. LEVY kok 1887. Township .. .2D cents on the S10O Special school...35 cents on the I1U0 Road .—.6 cents on the $100 Special road...... .10 cents on the *1«> Poor .. 10 cents on the <100 Total .. ..89 cents on the 9100 Total state, county and township. 11,60. In the above will be noticed ten cents on the $100 for poor fund which was caused by the new law passed by the legislature, making each township pay for the care of the poor. LEVY FOR 1898. 1 Township ... 20 cents on the 9100 Special school.35 cents on the 9100 ttoad..5 cents on the <100 Special road ... .. 10cents on the 1100 Poor ... 5 cents on the 1100 Total .. .. 75 cents on the 9100 Total state, county and township, 11.55. It will be seen that the tax levy has been decreased rather than increased.

A Sore Sign or Croup. Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it vill prevent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take. For sale by J. R. Adams k Son. n Uncle Temple W oolsey, one of the oldest citizens of Pike county, died at his home near Augusta last Monday night, aged 87 years. He came to this county from Kentucky about 65 yean ago and settled on the land where he has resided until his death. | As a citizen he stood in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He leaves a large number of relatives and friends to mourn i their loss. The funeral services were held j Tuesday afternoon and burial at the Barrett ] cemetery. _ The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Cham- j berlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the 1 affected parts is superior to any plaster. | When troubled with a pain in the chest or j side, or a lame back, give it a trial. You! are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords. Pain Balm j is also a certain cure for rheumatism. For j sale by J. R. Adams A Son. n The Press has nothing to say about the j price of wheat. It remains very silent, but j when the Letter speculation was on it never let up. The farmers understand all about j the price of wheat and will vote next Tuesday to wipe out goldbugisra. Vm Can’t Afford te Chance ft. A heavy cold may lead to pneumonia or consumption. Foley’s Honey and Tar] takes in time afford? perfect security from serious results. J. R. Adams k Sou. a r .
